Central Ohio ASHE Members,

We are excited to announce our fall Highway Cleanup at our adopted I-670/Grandview Avenue Interchange on October 24, 2026.

We will plan to meet at Woodland’s Backyard (668 Grandview Ave, Columbus, OH 43215). We will hold a safety briefing at 9:45 AM, and then spend the next hour or so cleaning the interchange.

After the cleanup, we will gather for lunch and gift cards will be given for:

• Most number of bags filled
• Most unusual item (8+ attendees)
• Largest item (15+ attendees)

ASHE will provide the following safety and cleanup items: leather gloves, safety vests, pickers, trash bags, and bottled water. Suggested attire to wear to the event includes sturdy boots, long pants, a long sleeve shirt and a hat.

Please email Dan Schmuhl ([email protected]) if you are planning to attend so he can assure we have plenty of safety gear for the event. Feel free to bring family and friends outside of ASHE to the event as well, please just let us know how many will be attending with your RSVP.

We ask that all attendees review the following ODOT safety video prior to attending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwTaEDNNFLA

Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you there!
